Anyone Thinking Of Potty Training Yet

Just curious to see if anyone has started potty training or plans to start soon? I am really considering at least getting him on the potty in the morning and night but not forcing it too much. He loves to sit on the potty already, now to get him to actually use it lol.

I just got a potty for my dd. She has been kind of interested, pointing to the potty and wanting to know what it is. So I bought one for dd and keep it in the bathroom. Dd sometimes sits on it. Mostly she likes to climb on it, lol. I'm guessing it will be a while yet before my dd is actually ready to potty train, but I figured I'll need a potty sooner or later, so since she's interested, I went ahead and bought one for her.

I considered looking into elimination training when she got a really bad diaper rash. When it went away though, I decided it'd be too much work since her grandparents rotate watching her (trying to train both grandmothers & her grandfather seemed overwhelming to them & me). I think they'd totally be on board if it were to clear up the rash but now that she's fine, I think they'd be more stressed by it. I'd love to lose the cost of diapers but am also not crazy about cleaning accidents either. Plus dd hates sitting on the toilet so that should be fun. Lol! I'm hoping age will help that.

Yea, I think it'd be hard to teach elimination communication this late that is more for really young babies. So I think it would be more of a hassle. I really was considering it when my Lo was just a few months old but was afraid my family would think I was insane. Maybe with the next one?

DD is showing signs, but at this age, they are known for regressing back into diapers. I'm willing to wait because trying to force her will only cause us both stress. Having two in diapers isn't ideal, but it's life.

I'm not ready to start hardcore potty training, but LO does have one and I have him sit on to get used to it. I have watched other kids that suddenly have it introduced and end up terrified of it, so I am just exposing him to the concept at this stage.

DD is nowhere near ready. The one and only time she she has shown any interest in the potty is one time when I was filling the bathtub, and she lifted the lid of the toilet and tried to splash the water around LOL. I took that to mean she was just excited to get into the tub!

We will probably wait until after 2 even if she starts showing signs earlier. I'll be bringing home a baby when she's 21 months, so I don't want to try to get her adjusted to the new baby and potty training at the same time.

I got a potty chair about a month ago (14 mo.) when my LO started taking off dirty diapers & imitating me when he's go into the bathroom with me(he won't let anyone go potty alone....ever!). So it's hit or miss. He holds his bladder at night & naps & so when I get him up we go potty. Sometimes he makes it in the potty! Sometimes not. It's cute, he tells his penis "go peepee go!" As he points at it. At this age, it's more getting him accustomed to the idea Rather than true potty training.

Yes we've set the potty out for our ds already. He's really interested and he already tells us when he pees and poops. Last weekend he was walking around the house naked and he actually took my hand, walked me into the bathroom, and peed right next to his potty! I hurried up and moved the potty over so he did make a little bit of pee in there. He hasn't peed in it since, so I'm sure it was somewhat of a coincidence, but I think he's definetly ready!

Addisyn sits on the potty, and pees! No pooping yet. I'm not pushing her. I ask her maybe 3x a day if she'd like to try. We're not going to start 100% until the spring. But we go every morning and right before bedtime, at least. :)

DD is practicing. She goes through the motions of sitting on the toilet and knows the process, but doesn't have the bladder or bowel control yet. She is now telling me that she's pooping, but she doesn't think about it in advance, only when it's happening. She loves the process though and tries to pull her pants off by herself when she knows we're going to sit there. I'm just waiting on her to show signs of realizing that she's about to pee or poop, and I know that often doesn't happen for another couple of months.

I am introducing and letting DD get used to the potty. For about a week now she has been going poopoo on it off and on. Today she peed as well. I want her to get use to having me around when she eliminates bc I've seen so many toddlers scared to go potty bc they're used to squatting in a corner while using the restroom. The attention distracts them.DD does the signage for poopoo and we are just going through the motions mostly right now.

So I sat my boy on the toilet today, he was terrified haha. He's been telling me he has poop in his diaper. he doesn't talk yet so he only points to his butt and goes "ehhh?" haha so he's only telling me AFTER the fact. I need to get one of those kiddie toilets but I know he's only gonna play with it haha

I'm going to start this week. This is my first and I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm going to let her sit on the potty a few times each day to see if we can get the concept. Quick would be awesome, but not going to force it. I've heard making it a huge deal and fun with lots of praise is key.

My ds now 4 basically trained himself at 18 months. I started by putting him on the toilet before his bath. We'd sit there reading books to keep him still. It took a few weeks but one night he actually did a wee. We jumped around and got so excited. Then 1 night after his bath he was running around nude and I heard him say wee. Thinking he had weed on the floor I went to clean up but there was nothing. So I asked if he wanted to sit on the toilet he said yes do he did and did a wee. He then would take himself to the toilet!!!! He is an extremely bright boy who stands out amongst his peers. I've started putting my dd 17 mo on the toilet before her bath now too.

So today when I went potty I asked my son if he wanted to go and he tried pulling his potty out so I took off his shorts and diaper and he sat down and I said are you going to go pee pee and he started to go, well I was unprepared (I really didn't expect him to go) and he was peeing on the floor so I hurried and pointed him down and this stopped him so I told him good job and finish your pee pee, which he then did. I did a little dance and song and gave him an m&M. we were so excited. Had to share. Potty training can be sooner than I thought.
